Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz mezcal
  • 1.5 oz mango purée or nectar
  • 0.75 oz fresh lime juice
  • 0.5 oz triple sec or orange liqueur
  • 2-3 slices fresh jalapeño plus more for garnish
  • Tajín or chili salt for rimming (optional)
  • Ice
  • Lime wedge and jalapeño slice for garnish

Method
 

  1. Rim the glass (optional): Rub the rim of a rocks glass with a lime wedge and dip it into Tajín or chili salt. Set aside.
  2. Muddle: In a shaker, gently muddle the jalapeño slices to release their heat.
  3. Add ingredients: Add mezcal, mango purée, lime juice, and triple sec into the shaker.
  4. Shake: Fill with ice and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until chilled.
  5. Strain & serve: Strain into your prepared glass over fresh ice.
  6. Garnish: Add a lime wedge and a jalapeño slice for extra flair.

Notes

  • Use fresh mango blended with a splash of water for an extra fresh version.
  • Adjust jalapeño slices to your spice preference — 1 for mild, 3+ for bold heat.
